Wrong.
There will be no list for this film, just a rant: First of all, there was absolutely no reason for these two characters to fall in love in the film. That was a spoiler, but the movie spoils itself so I don't feel bad. So Julia's character seems to be this hopeless borderline alcoholic community college professor stuck in a loveless marriage. Tom is a war vet who was recently fired from a dead end job and goes back to school to have better chances at getting a good job in the future. From what I can tell, the only interactions they have outside of class are once when he fixes her GPS at a stop sign, and once when he gives her a ride home on his scooter and she kisses him for no apparent reason. And then things get a little dramatic and then BAM they're in love or something. What? Also, his community college class all hang out together, which is improbable. Also also, this Manic Pixie Dream Girl befriends Tom and asks him to join her scooter gang. No, seriously. It's so weird and completely unbelievable.

I give this no claws up, Lobsters. Maybe if it starred two actors that I didn't respect, I could have lowered my expectations and liked it more. But Tom and Julia can do better, I just know it.
